My husband taught a newly married Sunday school class for about eight years and each Sunday different couples would rotate bringing breakfast. It was usually a pretty large spread. This recipe came from Colleen Parks, a vegetarian in our Sunday school class, who always found creative ways to make breakfast with sweets, quiches, assorted fruits and other confections that didn’t include meat. I’m not sure who Colleen got the recipe from…whether her mom, sister, a relative, from a cookbook or online. This recipe got passed around our class a lot because everyone loved it!

In a separate bowl combine chocolate chips.
Add granulated sugar.
Add cinnamon.

Sprinkle with half of the chocolate chip mixture.
Dollop the remaining coffee cake batter over top.
Spread with knife to the edges of baking dish.
